Oh I'd love to check out your favorites, what's the best of herbert west
Herbert West: Reanimator is one of Lovecraft's most famous tales. It's a serial he wrote for a magazine in 1920-21, a horror/comedy, one of the first sci/fi zombie tales. The science part, you have to remember it was written 100 years ago. There's been a few video adaptations, but really, the book is better because Lovecraft was a great writer.

Yeah I wasn't very clear. I guess Herbert West is the uncommon name, esp without mentioning the Reanimator.
